Jasper Johns: Pictures Within Pictures 1980-2015

In the years 1980-2015, Jasper Johns's (1930-) imagery ranged from investigations of his own earlier subject matter and personal history to a much broader humanist discourse.

This book offers the first comprehensive study of his art since 1980, a period in which the artist has made some of his most moving and challenging work. Looking primarily at Johns's paintings and works on paper, and drawing on conversations with the artist, the author provides the context for this later work and explores its visual and iconographic complexity.
